[bandbabe 0]

Hi everyone...i am new here....my surgery date is scheduled for 8-9-10.....i am very excited !!!!

I had two questions:

1. I have to choose between the Lap-Band and the Realize Band....and I still havnt made my choice....I would like the better one all around but which has a port that shows the least? I figured I would ask first hand experience...

2. How many days is the clear liquid diet? then how many days are you on the full liquid until you can go to soft foods?

Any comments or suggestions are welcome !!! Thanks everyone !!! and again im super excited to start my new journey !!! :w00t::w00t:

I fellow August Bander, I just found out that I was approved and my surgery date is Aug 20th.

I'm personally doing the "Lap-Band"; no real reason why, it's just the product my doctor uses and he's well respected here in Metro Atlanta.

Let's stay in touch as we journey forward to our NEW selves !!!!
